Chapter 41 Chapter 25 The Fragrance Falls

I thought that Fu Bin would bring a large army to overturn the hidden mirror ghost's lair in one fell swoop, but he said: "When the man is called, you may have been buried by the other party." In order to come to rescue us as soon as possible, he even fired a gun He didn't bring it either, he just picked up a dagger and rushed over in a hurry. Although when he climbed the camphor tree just now, he had confirmed that the gunman was no longer in ambush on the balcony on the second floor, but God knows if he would still stay in the house.In addition, there are three of us, but only one gun, and there are not many bullets left, so we must be very cautious.

Under the cover of Xueqing, Fu Bin quickly approached the house with vigorous steps, and peeked inside the window.After observing for a while, he moved to the gate, and gestured to Xueqing a few times, signaling to break in. Xueqing rushed forward swiftly and put her back against the wall beside the gate to guard.Fu Bin winked at her, she nodded slightly, then turned around and fired two shots at the door lock.While the gunshots were still echoing in his ears, Fu Bin kicked towards the gate. The door opened, and the inside was pitch black and silent. Fu Bin first used the beam of the flashlight to confirm the situation in the room, then quickly entered the room, turned on the light switch, and the whole hall was lit up immediately.

After he and Xueqing confirmed that there was no one in the house, I went in to search with them.Although it has been confirmed that Liang Caixia and Wang Da are directly related to the hidden mirror ghost, and Wu Wei is also inseparable, it is hard to say who is the mastermind.So, we split up and scoured every corner of the house, hoping to find key clues. I rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen, and finally found two boxes of "ice cubes" in the refrigerator, which were shaped like air gun bullets. I think they should be the dry ice bullets and alcohol mixture bullets that Fu Bin mentioned.

When she walked out of the kitchen, Xueqing was carrying a large box down the stairs.I casually glanced into the box, although it was just a glance, but I almost didn't cry out, because I saw the "Ghost Hidden Mirror" in the box. The contents of the box were searched by Xueqing on the second floor, including a complete air gun, a pile of air gun parts, small household appliances that were dismantled to pieces, and other messy household items, as well as the "ghost hidden mirror" Mami! It turns out that the legendary hidden mirror ghost is just a translucent human-shaped plastic plate.The plastic plate only has the upper body, which is about half of an adult.The hair was made of fishing line, and the blood-red eyes were originally two sparkling red glass beads. As for the ferocious face, it was just outlined with paint.The plastic plate is covered with a red cheongsam made of translucent silk. Both arms and head have movable joints, and the mouth can also be opened and closed. It feels like a work of art.

In addition to the hidden mirror ghost, Xueqing also found another similar plastic board, but this one is completely different from the former one. It is a cute humanoid sheep, which looks very much like the protagonist of a children's cartoon. I remember that Cai Heng once mentioned that Shaomeng liked watching this cartoon very much, and he talked to someone in the back hall on the night of the accident.I think Shaomeng was talking to the image projected by this plastic board, and was led by Liang Caixia to the street. To confirm this conjecture, Xueqing and I took the plastic board into the kitchen, turned off the light, and with her help, used the light of the flashlight to project the image of the plastic board onto the window.Although we are not proficient in operation, we can finally make the legendary hidden mirror ghost and cute little sheep appear on the window.

Afterwards, we returned to the hall together and found that Fu Bin was staring at the photo frame hanging on the wall in a daze.I've noticed this photo frame before, but I didn't find anything unusual. The dozens of photos inserted on the edge of the photo frame only record Wu Wei's growth experience, and they don't seem to be directly related to this case. However, Fu Bin didn't think so. He pointed to one of the photos and said to me: "Look carefully at this one." The lettering on the certificate was rather blurry, so you could barely see the words "Qi", "Strike" and "Champion".

Because I didn't know that Cangjinggui's "Ghost Claw Skill" is just a high-pressure air gun that shoots dry ice bullets, so I didn't pay attention to this photo.At this time, after Fu Bin mentioned it, I immediately thought that when Wu Wei took this photo, he should be holding up the "Airsoft Shooting Champion" certificate. "Although I also think that Wu Wei is likely to be the gunman of the hidden mirror ghost, but the certificate in the photo is quite vague, and it is hard to be convincing as evidence." I frowned. He pointed to a teenager in black pants on the edge of the photo, smiled and said, "Look here again."

The boy was standing on the right side of the podium with a certificate in his hand, he should be one of the winners.On the surface, there is nothing unusual about him, but if you look closely, you can find a black iron rod next to his right leg. "It's the barrel of an air gun. He is holding an air gun." Xue Qing's indifferent voice came from behind.Her eyesight is really good, and she can still see the small barrel of the gun in the photo behind me. I shrugged and said, "You guys really hit it off!" "It's just that heroes see the same thing." Fu Bin laughed at me, but his eyes were peeking at Xueqing.The latter didn't respond, as if he didn't hear him.

Afterwards, Xueqing continued to search the house, while Fu Bin and I discussed the identity of the hidden mirror ghost members.What is certain now is that Wu Wei and his wife are the shooter and controller of the hidden mirror ghost respectively.As for Wang Da, although it is certain that he is directly related to the hidden mirror ghost, it is difficult to determine whether he is the leader or a pawn of Wu Wei and his wife. I thought Wang Da was the leader because Mr. Lu had set his mobile phone as an extremely important anti-cracking software receiving number.Fu Bin's thinking was the opposite of mine. He believed that he was just a subordinate of Wu Wei and his wife, with a status similar to that of Mr. Lu, and that he was just a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time.

"Since Mr. Lu set the receiving number as Wang Da's mobile phone, why did he never talk to the other party?" He asked himself and explained: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that although I know there is another One member exists, but Mr. Lu does not know that the other party is Wang Da, and the setting of the receiving number is just an instruction from Wu Wei and his wife; For self-protection, it is understandable to set the other party's mobile phone number in this sensitive position. Because once your identity is revealed, the other party will not feel better."

I don't agree with his hypothesis, because there is no evidence that the two had ever had a bad relationship, and according to the recording of the call, it has been confirmed that Teacher Lu is dissatisfied with the hidden mirror ghost.Therefore, when it comes to setting the receiving number, which is difficult for the other party to verify, Mr. Lu does not need to obey the other party's instructions.Moreover, if Mr. Lu wants to protect himself, he should set the receiving number to the mobile phone of Wu Wei and his wife instead of Wang Da. "It's not necessary." Fu Bin shook his index finger lightly, "Based on the call records in the mobile phone, we will sooner or later find out that the hidden mirror ghost who was talking to Teacher Lu is Liang Caixia. But Wang Da is different. Not only did he not talk to Lu The teacher is on the phone, and he is using a registered mobile phone card, if Teacher Lu didn't intend to harm him, how could he be exposed so easily to our sight?" There is some truth to his reasoning. If Wang Da is just a pawn, then the real masterminds are Wu Wei and his wife.However, why did this ordinary little couple kill innocent children so cruelly one after another?When thinking about this question, my eyes inadvertently fell on the photo of Wu Wei holding his newborn son. Wu Wei and his wife once mentioned that their son died of kidney failure because of eating problematic milk powder. Could it be that they want to take revenge on the society for this?Then their purpose of offering sacrifices to evil gods is not to hurt more innocent citizens, right? I told Fu Bin what I was thinking, and he thought it was very likely.In order to avoid more serious consequences, we must prevent them from performing sacrificial rituals.However, if you want to stop them, you must first know the location of their ceremony. Just when we were frowning, Xueqing, who had been walking around the house, showed us a bunch of keys: "I think they should be in the vegetable market." "How come?" I asked. She shook the keys in her hand and said indifferently: "I searched the whole house and only found this bunch of keys. I tried it just now, and every key on this bunch of keys can be found in this house Corresponding door lock." "So what?" I didn't respond for a while. "Wu Wei and his wife took away the key to the frozen meat shop." Fu Bin said vigilantly. I suddenly realized, and immediately understood what Xueqing meant.When Wu Wei and his wife fled in a hurry, they didn't even have time to take away the key to the residence, but instead took the key to the frozen meat shop, which means they wanted to go to the frozen meat shop. But what are they doing at the frozen meat store?That's the shop they opened. Even if we don't investigate there tonight, we'll go there tomorrow and look into it. It's definitely not a safe place to hide.Could it be that they hid something important in the store? Regardless of whether this assumption is correct, we also need to go to the frozen meat shop, after all, this is the only clue at present. In order to find Wu Wei and others as soon as possible, we didn't dare to delay for a moment, so we set off for the vegetable market immediately.However, as soon as we walked outside the door, we heard a burst of singing. This singing seemed familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered that the ringtone of Wang Da's mobile phone was exactly this song.Xueqing's ears are relatively sensitive, and after a short search, she found the mobile phone covered in dust.The phone was obviously dropped by Wang Da, but it was just covered by the dust that Fu Bin raised, so we never noticed it. Although Xueqing found the phone before the ringtone disappeared, she didn't have time to answer it.But even if we could find our mobile phone earlier, we might not be able to answer the call.Because this phone needs to be unlocked with a fingerprint, if you fail to pass the fingerprint verification, you can’t do something as simple as connecting and listening to the phone, and of course you can’t use other functions. Wang Da is also very careful in doing things, it seems that he can only take the phone back and let Viagra crack it.But looking for Viagra now takes a lot of time.By the time we rush back, I'm afraid the sacrificial ceremony has already ended.Therefore, we had to put this matter aside for the time being, and go to the frozen meat shop first to make plans. The vegetable market in the countryside is like a deserted temple at night, quiet and mysterious. The entire vegetable market is dark and dark, and you can hardly see your fingers. Moreover, there are a lot of garbage such as fruit peels and leaves on the slippery ground, and you will fall if you are not careful.What's worse, Fu Bin didn't let me use the flashlight in order to avoid alarming others.So, I had no choice but to hold on to the wall and walk slowly behind them. If Wu Wei and the others ambushed us here, they would be able to catch us all with just any night vision equipment.Fortunately, they don't seem to have thought of that. When we came to the frozen meat shop run by Wu Wei and his wife, we found that the rolling gate was not locked, and it was not even pulled to the end. There was a half-meter-high gap at the bottom.Looking at the half-open shutter door, I couldn't help worrying that the other party might ambush us in the store.But Fu Bin is not as timid as I am. After making a few gestures to Xueqing, he fell down and rolled into the store. After he rolled into the frozen meat shop, there was no movement at all, and the expected violent fight did not seem to happen.Just when I thought he had been quietly killed by the other party, the lights in the store suddenly turned on, and the rolling shutter door also rose. "We are late." Fu Bin shrugged behind the gate. Although there was no one in the store, I was relieved, but then I frowned—where are Wu Wei and others going?The only way to know the answer is to look for clues in this slightly crowded frozen meat shop. The frozen meat shop is about 40 square meters, divided into two parts, the front half is the storefront, and the second half is the cold storage.In addition to a simple cash register desk and three desks, there are more than a dozen old foam boxes in the store.Some of the foam boxes are neatly stacked on the right side of the cold storage door, while the foam boxes that should be stacked on the left are scattered on the ground. Xueqing and I opened all the foam boxes and checked, and found that the boxes were all empty.Fu Bin used a dagger to pry open the drawer of the cash register desk and checked, but found nothing in particular except for some receipts and a small amount of change.Judging from the superficial signs, Wu Wei and others should not have stayed in the store too much. The things they needed were probably in the cold storage, and the foam boxes scattered on the ground were proof that they had entered and exited the cold storage. There are no clues in the storefront. To know the location of the sacrificial ceremony, the only way to enter the cold storage is to try your luck.Although there is no door lock at the entrance of the cold storage, it will be closed automatically.If we all went into the cold storage to investigate, the people outside could wipe us out as long as they bolted the door with a stick.In order to prevent Wu Wei and the others from retaliation, I asked Xueqing to wait in front of the store, and went into the cold storage with Fu Bin to investigate. The temperature in the cold storage is very low, at least below freezing, as evidenced by the thick frost on the walls.I sneezed three times in a row, but Fu Bin didn't feel anything unusual, as if he didn't feel cold at all.However, he soon discovered that investigating here is not a good job, because the cold storage is only about two meters high, which is quite inconvenient for a tall man like him. electric light. "Wu Wei and his wife shouldn't be tall. The roof of the cold storage is so low that it wastes a lot of space." Fu Bin lowered his head and searched the boxes on the shelf depressedly. A set of refrigeration equipment is placed behind the cold storage. There is a shelf on the left and right walls, and a dozen foam boxes are stacked on the ground.Whether it's shelves or foam boxes, they are all filled with frozen foods such as chilled chicken wings and cuttlefish balls.The whole cold storage is only a small space the size of a palm, and it didn't take us much time to check every corner.However, there's nothing special here other than the frozen treats. Just as I was frowning because I didn't find anything, Fu Bin stared up at Kuding, which was only one palm away from his forehead, in a daze.I asked him if he found anything suspicious. After a moment of thought, he replied: "The height of the store is about 3.5 meters, but the height of the cold storage is only about two meters. Although lowering the roof of the storage can enhance the cooling effect, it also reduces the risk of cooling. Use the space..." I looked around at the goods in the cold storage, and immediately understood what he meant—it's too crowded here! In this space of less than 20 square meters, both the shelves and the ground are full of goods, and it is not easy for us to turn around after entering.If the top of the library is lowered just to enhance the cooling effect, it seems a bit out of the ordinary.However, if there are other pavilions on the top of the warehouse, it is another matter. Fu Bin and I searched the top of the warehouse together, and found a small area above the shelf on the left, where there was obviously less frost.Fu Bin walked to the shelf, stretched out his hand and pushed it up, easily pushing the top shelf out of a gap.This is obviously a trap door, perhaps the things Wu Wei and others needed were once stored in the secret room on the trap door. Fu Bin took out the flashlight, held it in his mouth, and stepped on the shelf to get into the secret room hidden on the roof of the warehouse.However, as soon as he put his head in, he jumped down again, his face turned pale.I asked him what was going on, and he calmed down before answering, "Did you smell it?" I took a deep breath through my nose, and besides the icy smell that I often smell in the refrigerator, I also smelled a weird fragrance.This fragrance seemed familiar, although I couldn't remember smelling it there for a while, but as the strange fragrance falling from the top of the warehouse gradually became stronger, a terrible name came to my mind-Anayi! "This unique fragrance is exactly the same as the fragrance of the strange person we met in the Academy of Fine Arts." Fu Bin showed a look of palpitations, obviously afraid of Anayi who was as powerful as a demon god. At this moment, I am almost sure that the holy master mentioned by Wu Wei and others is Anayi who possesses incredible power.And this terrifying old witch is most likely hiding in the secret room on the top of the library. Although I don't want to provoke her, I can't be deterred by it.The same goes for Fu Bin. After looking at me for a while, he motioned for me to leave the cold storage first.I walked out of the cold storage and briefly told Xueqing what was going on inside. Without further ado, she immediately loaded the pistol, turned around and walked into the cold storage. The Kumen slowly closed. I don't know what happened inside, and I didn't hear any sound from inside.In this kind of situation where conflicts may arise at any time, not only can I not help, but it will become a burden.The only thing I can do is lean my back against the wall, smoke silently, and call the boss for help when I finish smoking. Just as I stomped out the cigarette butt and took out my mobile phone to call the boss, the door of the cold storage slowly opened.Xueqing came out of the cold storage in a panic, with a strange expression on her face that was completely different from usual.Her face was pale, and with her usual indifferent expression, it was as if a thin layer of frost had condensed on her face.However, at this moment, her face was flushed and her breathing was a little short.It was the first time I saw her so flustered. I hurriedly asked her what happened, did Fu Bin have an accident?She didn't answer my question, just asked inexplicably: "Do you care about me?"
